Foundational Biotechnology Design and Dev
Abstract
This Project works collaboratively with Joint Service partners to investigate and determine novel biotechnology methods and processes to establish a domestic resilient supply chain for defense needs. Applied research designs and conducts experiments on bio-derived, bio-functionalized, and bio-manufactured materials and biosynthetic precursors. Efforts under this Project investigate and validate models for design of defense applications. Areas of focus may include reclamation or sequestration of rare Earth/critical elements in the defense supply chain and drop-in replacements for currently employed military materials. Work in this Project compliments Program Element (PE) 0603386A (Biotechnology for Materials - Advanced Research) / CP7 (Biotechnology Demonstration and Evaluation). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy.
